As promised, here is the astrological study my friend
did on CWL's birthdates.

"Regarding the controversy about Bishop
Charles Webster Leadbeater's birthday, from an
astrological point of view I can tell you briefly that
if a tendency towards clairvoyance could be
considered as an important factor - and I suppose this
is just the case in his life — then his birth
should have taken place on 17th February of 1847,
according to his passport, and not on 16th of
February of 1854, according to his birth certificate.
That conclusion is based on a remarkable
conjunction, in its intensity, found on 17th February
1847 among the Sun, Mercury and Neptune
concentrated in only one degree of longitude in
Aquarius (Sun 28:11’; Mercury 28:53’and
Neptune 27:51’).

If you consider Bishop Leadbeater’s horoscope
according to Alan Leo in his classical book “A
Thousand and One Notable Nativities”, the time of
birth used was around 10h30 a.m. in London,
which determines a rising sign around 6 degrees of
Gemini, so the position of Mercury becomes
even more important as its ruler.

In a classical work on astrology, like “The Message of
the Stars” by Max Heindel, regarding the
conjunction of Mercury (the planet of mind and
perception) with Neptune (the planet of mystical
intuition), the author says: “These people generally
succeed in occult sciences and often develop
a super-sensory faculty.” The Sun, which is the life-
giver, will add to that conjunction a
conscious control of the faculty and an enormous
intensity as well as an extraordinary importance
to it in the life of the person, because the Sun means
the center of consciousness in the horoscope
around which everything else revolves.

So, it must seem obvious, even for a person with a
little knowledge of astrology, the enormous
importance of this triple conjunction in Bishop
Leadbeater’s life, and also that the intensity of a
conjunction depends on how near the position of the
planets are from the exact alignment, which
means zero degree of longitude. If the planets are too
far from alignment, for example, more than
10 degrees, the influence vanishes and its
astrological effect as a conjunction becomes
irrelevant.

To make this example clearer I have done a small
research on the longitudinal distance
among these three planets, as they are called in
astrology, on 17th February for 10 years in
sequence, as follows: 1847 = 1 degree; 1848 = 15
degrees; 1849 = 12 degrees; 1850 = 24
degrees; 1851 = 34 degrees; 1852 = 30 degrees; 1853 =
19 degrees; 1854 = 14 degrees ; 1855 =
18 degrees; 1856 = 19 degrees. If you calculate the
angle for 16th February 1854 ( = 14
degrees), its influence becomes irrelevant. The
numbers speak for themselves.

Without any doubt 17th February 1847 is remarkable in
its astrological positions in favour of
clairvoyance, and Bishop Leadbeater was such a
remarkable clairvoyant as we can
see in his writing “Occult Chemistry” with Dr. Besant
in 1908, in which they discovered so many
isotopes and chemical elements, even the quarks, so
many years before official science, or
the discovery of J. Krishnamurti in 1909, that even
if he had done nothing more than this his
clairvoyance had already been proven, but he had done
so much more for the world.

Anyway, as I suppose that there is no controversy
about his clairvoyance, I took this special
faculty as a definite factor in the analysis of his
horoscope, but much more could be said if an
analysis of the astrological progressions and transits
of his chart could be done year by year. But
that would demand much more time.”
